I bet you have used the term "hard scoping" as an insult

What about Insurgency? It adds a huge need to be tactical. I remember I was able to cover an entire half of a map once, head shot after another.

Yup, totally true. I hope all these sniper players disagreeing with you are aware that they contibute nothing to the game and are complete irrelevant, in fact if the just left the game it wouldn't make any negative impact on the team whatsoever.

I agree. Only thing bad about this game is those cock suckers who run away with rails all the goddamn time. That's why Painkiller is best arena shooter.

I thought Republic Commando was neat because you could assign your squad mates to all sorts of special cover spots and that wouldn't need exist without a sniper guy in your team.

you can pick off snipers with the AT4 more easily. Its rockets aren't affected by gravity
>>
>>341864024
This
Red orchestra 2 without snipers actually would be shit
Imagine how boring the game would be if you could run out in the open all the time with no fear of consequence? That would be shit
>>
>>341865985
i know but it lacks the splash damage of the CG and the RPG7 and you have to stand still in order to get an accurate shot
with the other 2 you can fire and forget

AT4 is best for chopper killing and does the most damage to vehicles in general

>>341864619
because they don't know how to fight.

>>341863621
A shitty gunner is way better than a shitty sniper, a good gunner can't do shit against a good sniper.
Problem is most snipers are shitty.

Do people still play BC2? That game was better than BF3 and BF4 imo
>>
Because I am very ignorant, What are snipers used for in actual war? Are they more for support, or scouting or taking out important figures?
>>
>>341867094
They do a lot of Recon stuff, and usually are designated to take out one very specific and important target. Obviously this doesn't translate well to a FPS multiplayer where you want to get in the neighborhood of 20 kills.

Currently in Syrian cities, no one can move because snipers nests are everywhere.

What videogame properly simulates complete movement denial in an urban environment?

You will never know that feel of unessecessarily sprying round after round from a Giant bullet spewing beast.SImply because you can, and it terrifies the enemy.

No one has built a fully realized city to post snipers in

And if it was multiplayer the matches would take hours upon hours to get any objectives fulfilled.

You'd need an air support feature or multiple underground pathways with fully realized stairwells going up to 10 to 20 story buildings.

>unessecessarily sprying
One: English
Two: Please look up suppression maneuvers. Light machine guns aren't meant to drop waves of enemies, humanities major. They are meant to prevent the adversary from moving to another position while giving your guys the time to change positions.

>I never played BFBC2

Battlefield never got snipers correctly again after bad company.

In CoD they can be annoying since sniper users tend to run around the map instead trying to go for trick shots. Had a friend that played CoD only to do this.

Most gamers are so conditioned by games and movies implentation of how guns work that they don't like it when confronted with an alternative.

In Bad Company 2 when you upgraded your shotgun to slugs and could nail headshots with it from 200m, I got called a "hacker" so often when that happened by people who assume shotguns can only hit targets an arms reach away.
>>
>>341868627
He played WaW. I just don't remember which CoD he started to get into doing that. Think I remember him saying something about having to drag scope or something like that because quick scoping was a bit harder.
>>
If snipers are a problem then it's not because of snipers, it's because the game doesn't offer you any decent movement options.
